The DCDT acts as an inclusive platform for the advancement of Detroit’s educational, economic and engagement efforts with regard to design, technology and social innovation.

DCDT DESIGN INCUBATOR
Lawrence Technological University’s Detroit Center for Design + Technology (DCDT) is bringing together resources, one-on-one expertise and industry workshops in its new Design Incubator program aimed to reach Detroit’s creative community and startup entrepreneurs. Funded by the Hudson Webber Foundation, the DCDT Design Incubator officially launched its services in February 2017, all of which are meant to support new and growing creative + tech businesses in Detroit. The Incubator will educate creative talent and foster innovation, design thinking and the commercialization of art and design ideas through active coaching and collaboration with industry professionals, in addition to providing access to state-of-the-art technology. The Design Incubator houses four programs – DCDT Accelerator, DCDT Fellowship Program, DCDT CoWork and the DCDT Design Studio Woodward & Willis.
